As a team, the volunteers ensure that Museum Zaanse Tijd is a place where visitors feel at home. A place where children are of tomorrow and adults are not of yesterday. Where all visitors can come into direct contact with everything related to time; from clocks and watches to astronomy, from the past to the present, from positioning to relativity. A museum where education is important and where fun activities are organized regularly, such as special school visits and theme days. The museum attracts an average of approximately 30,000 visitors per year. Children and parents, as well as the elderly and people with disabilities, both Dutch and international tourists visit every day. You receive our visitors from behind the counter, in our small shop or show them around our museum. No prior knowledge is necessary, but hospitality and an interest in the time and Zaanse history are required. You can work on this for at least approximately one day or half a day per week, according to your own choice. We are still looking for help, especially for Fridays and weekends.

Neighborhood Families is an initiative based on an old idea: we raise children together. Under the motto 'We raise children together', Neighborhood Families links families who need support to a stable family in the neighborhood. This way, children get some extra love and attention and parents are relieved of the burden. Families that could use support (demand families) are linked to a warm and stable family in the neighborhood (support families). This way, children get some extra love and attention and parents are relieved for a while. The help is mundane and friendly. The requesting and supporting family make agreements about support under the guidance of the Neighborhood Families coordinator. For example, it could be a weekly playdate, staying over for a weekend or doing something fun together. That is tailor-made every time. We are currently looking for a nice playground for various children. Are you the family that this place can offer? Send us a message. We would be happy to visit you without obligation.

If you have dealt with, for example, depression, addiction, anxiety or obsessive-compulsive disorder or other psychological complaints, you know how important the support of others can be.

Stichting Voetveer Zaandijk
The Voetveer sails between Zaandijk and the Zaanse Schans. To be precise, between the Zaandijkersluis on the Lagedijk in Zaandijk and the Bonte Hen mill on the Zaanse Schans (near the Mill Museum). The Voetveer sails from May 1 to October 1, 7 days a week from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. A single ticket costs €1.50, children up to 10 years old can travel for free. Every year the Foundation donates its income (after deduction of costs) to Zaanse charities. You can think of the food bank, clothing bank, petting zoos and so on. We are looking for new volunteers! The Voetveer cannot sail without a large group of enthusiastic volunteers. After all, there is a lot involved in sailing the boat seven days a week and maintaining a ferry house with jetty. Because our volunteers are also getting older, we are looking for new enthusiasts who enjoy sailing back and forth with curious and cheerful tourists from just about every country in the world. We are looking for tour guides and skippers. After all, there are always two people sailing, one controls the ferry, the other sells the tickets, hands out route descriptions (in 15 languages!) for a walk through Zaandijk and answers questions. What do we ask of you? For both positions we ask for a willingness to sail at least two half-days a month. You sail from 10:00 AM - 1:30 PM or from 1:30 PM - 5:00 PM. You can indicate when you are available. In addition, it is nice if you speak at least a few words of English. We ask a little more from a skipper than from a tour guide. To be allowed to sail you need a Small Boating License I and the basic Maritime Radio Certificate. Do you have no papers, but would you like to become a skipper? Then we have a great offer for you. We pay the costs of the course and exam, provided that you sail for us for at least two seasons. If you stop earlier, you will repay part of the costs to us pro rata. But our experience is that once you start, you won't be able to stop! Are you interested? Then send a message.
